What you will learn?

CPI is a qualification that is recognised both inside and outside the insolvency profession. CPI would accommodate the learning requirements of a candidate who is new to the insolvency profession or a candidate who has several years' experience in insolvency, but who does not wish to advance to the stage of sitting the JIEB examinations. The flexibility of this qualification is such that it can be used as a stepping stone towards the preparation of the JIEB examinations.

CPPI - This qualification was introduced by the IPA in 2009 and is of a level equivalent to CPI. However, this course and qualification provides an opportunity for those working solely in the personal insolvency sector to gain a thorough understanding of the personal insolvency legislation, the sequestration of partnerships and the forms of debt solutions that are out with formal insolvency.

Whichever examination is chosen by the student, all the modules are designed to assist the student to cover the relevant syllabus in sufficient detail to ensure all major areas are covered in preparation for the examination. The student will be equipped with comprehensive, up to date study packs and detailed course notes for each module, reflecting up to date legislation and best practice to assist learning and revision.

The courses are run via a mixture of face to face tutoring, interactive on line courses and webinars. This will encourage the candidates learning experience to be practical, participative and enjoyable. The programme includes an optional mock exam, with feedback on examination technique and a revision session designed to assist the students with any areas of particular difficulty as identified by students throughout the programme.

Who should attend?

Although these modules are aimed at anyone planning on sitting the CPI/ CPPI/CPCI exams, they can also be used by those wishing to receive specific insolvency training but who do not wish to sit the formal examinations.

About the exams

No prior experience or previous qualifications are needed to take the CPI or CPPI exams. However, if you have little knowledge about insolvency, we recommend taking one of our introductory courses before undertaking the CPI/CPPI Training programme.

In order to sit the exams, you must have registered as an Insolvency Practitioners Association (IPA) student. You must also submit an entry form and pay the exam fee by the IPA's closing date. For full information please refer to the IPA website.
